Description:

Looks steep and thin :-). 20m left from the 'Report to Sickbay' corner, the wall suddenly drops 3m or more at a gap between the wall and a large boulder to the left. Go around the boulder to the left and do an easy downclimb.'The Parker Route' is on this South face of the boulder, beginning close to where you get back on the ground. 'Obstical Illusion' is approx. in the middle of this section of the main crag that you are now facing.
